Validate objects and metadata with precision
Control object permission and validate related objects and metadata.
Managing complex validation in M-Files environments
When the system messages are too technical and unclear, users struggle to understand what needs to be fixed.
And when the validation logic gets more complex, it often requires time-consuming scripting, event handlers, or error-prone manual checks.
This approach works — but it’s not scalable, especially when rules evolve.
What’s missing? A flexible, no-code way to define validation logic and deliver clear, user-friendly messages that help users fix issues.
Enforce validation logic without custom code
With Extension Kit Core, you can validate M-Files objects, metadata, and related objects based on custom business rules directly in M-Files Admin — no scripting or event handlers.
Apply custom logic to ensure key properties are filled in or follow specific formats.
Validate fields on referenced objects, even if the data isn't directly visible on the source object.
Trigger checks on object creation, metadata updates, workflow transitions, and more.
Use “all” or “any” logic to support both strict and flexible validation scenarios.
Guide users with tailored error messages that explain exactly what needs fixing.
Unlock better validation, faster
Use cases
In HR processes, the employee’s number isn’t available until after hiring, so it can’t be a required field on the Person object. Automatically check that the personal number exists on the referenced Person before an employment contract can be created.
See the configurationA football academy needs to ensure that underage players have a guardian listed before signing a scholarship agreement. Extension Kit Core will automatically check if the property guardian is empty or not in M-Files.
When an AP invoice is created, check if an invoice with the same date, number, and company already exists, preventing duplicates even if the file content differs.
